This past week I had the pleasure of traveling to Washington, D.C. for a work conference. It was one of those conferences I love to attend for the information and the conversations, and also dread because of the things I discover need to be changed, revised, or scrapped when I get back to the office.… Continue reading The Nation’s Capitol

It’s 44° in Portland
Every morning while walking to the light rail stop, this bank clock/temperature sign has said 44°. Regardless of how it feels or the weather that day, it has been steadfast.
